Am I trans? Take the Transcheck.
"Am I trans?" or "am I really trans?" — it is a question many young people struggle with. This free Transcheck (also called a transgender test or gender test) helps you think about it by means of 50 yes/no questions.
In a world where TikTok, Instagram and YouTube are full of transition stories, it sometimes seems as if "being trans" is the answer to everything that does not feel right. For some, gender doubt is real and lasting; for others very different things play a part — trauma, autism, depression, the influence of social media, or the ordinary insecurity of puberty.
In 10 minutes this test shows what seems most likely in your case. You do not get a diagnosis, but you do get an honest mirror. The result appears on your screen straight away; you do not have to enter a name or e-mail address.
Who is this check for?
- Teenagers and young adults with questions about identity
- Parents who want to understand their child better
- Anyone who wonders: is this really what I think it is?
How does it work?
- 50 yes/no questions, one by one
- Answer honestly — just for yourself
- Takes about 10 minutes

Why this check?
Among teenagers and young adults, questions about identity have increased sharply since the arrival of smartphones, TikTok and Instagram. Many of those questions quickly have a gender label stuck on them — sometimes by the young person themselves, sometimes by friends or online accounts, sometimes by care providers. Whether that label is justified is another question.
The Transcheck is not a diagnosis. It is a questionnaire that helps to distinguish between a long-standing, stable picture and signals that usually point to something else: a difficult period, low mood, autism or ADHD, social influence, or the ordinary searching that is part of puberty.
What the test does and does not do
It is: a mirror. The questions help you think about your history, your body, your friends, your time online — all things that play a part in what you feel now.
It is not: a diagnosis. No online test can establish whether someone is "trans". Nor is there any biological or medical test from which you can read that. For some people the suffering caused by their body is lifelong and intense — for by far the most teenagers with questions about identity that is not the case.
Why not via a psychologist or by talking about it?
It seems logical to take these questions to a GP or psychologist. But in practice that pathway often goes one way: the GP refers to a psychologist, the psychologist to a gender clinic, and there the outcome is largely already fixed — affirmation, social transition, and eventually often medical steps.
Talking about it with friends or in online groups also usually backfires. The more words you give to your feelings, the bigger they become. Your story becomes your identity, and your identity becomes your direction.
From the point of view of developmental psychology, puberty is a period of searching — that is no coincidence, that is the intention. Your brain keeps developing until about the age of 25. Your personality is shaped by what you do, not by what you say about yourself. Those who play sport, learn, work, spend time with friends and get out of the house build a person as a matter of course. Those who stay inside their head keep searching.
